Apple vs. Android
                     APPLE VS. ANDROID
INTRODUCTION
Google's Android and Apple's 
iOS are operating systems used 
primarily in mobile technology, 
such as smartphones and 
tablets.

ANDROID
Android, which is Linux-based 
and partly open source, is more 
PC-like than iOS, in that its 
interface and basic features are 
generally more customizable 
from top to bottom.

EASE OF USE
People love to say Apple 
products, "just work." It’s 
certainly true that the iOS 
interface is easy to use. But so 
is the Android interface. 
Frankly, if you can use one, you 
won’t have trouble using the 
other.

FIT, FINISH, AND 
PRICE
Some — such as the top-of-the-
line Samsung S22+ and the 
Google Pixel 6 Pro — are every 
bit as attractive as the iPhone 
13. By controlling every step of 
the manufacturing process, 
Apple makes sure iPhones have 
great fit and finish. But so do 
the top Android phone 
manufacturers.

CLOSED VS. OPEN 
SYSTEMS
The iPhone remains as 
proprietary as ever. If you don’t 
want anything in your pocket 
that you can’t buy from Apple, 
fine. But keep in mind that you 
will always and forever be 
locked into the Apple software 
ecosystem as long as you own 
an iPhone.
Android is open-source software. 
It's also far more accepting of 
alternative applications.

AI AND VOICE 
ASSISTANTS
When it comes to Google 
Assistant vs. Siri, there’s no 
question of the winner: Google 
Assistant by a country mile.
Siri may have been first to 
market, but it’s still pretty 
basic. It’s fine for answering 
questions, but it’s not really 
that much of an artificially 
intelligent assistant.

TIMELY UPDATES
When it comes to software 
updates, on the other hand, 
that’s an area where Apple 
beats Android hollow. When 
Apple releases a new update or 
patch, all phones those that 
are still supported, anyway get 
it.

SECURITY
When it comes to security, it’s 
not so much that Android has 
problems, it’s that Google is 
more lax than Apple about 
what applications it allows into 
its app store. The best way to 
keep malware off your Android 
gadget is to only get apps from 
the Google Play store.

PERIPHERALS
All Android devices use 
standard USB ports, so there 
are many gadgets you can 
connect to your phone. With 
iPhones, you need something 
that will connect with its 
proprietary Lightning port.

BATTERY LIFE AND 
CHARGING
Battery life is hard to judge 
because Android phone models 
are so different from one 
another. In my experience, 
largely with Samsung, Google, 
and Motorola phones, Android 
phones don’t need to be 
recharged as often as iPhones.
